They do but they really only take freshmen that will play. Similar to the other big schools (SSSAS, GC, Visi) they have more depth and playing time is important so they have swing players to make sure they play and don't just sit the bench all spring.
Putting Visi in the class of other area “big schools” is a stretch. Visi had losses to Potomac and SJC last year. Not ranked in top ten either.
Current Visi parent - I think they will have a good team this year, maybe even very good. They underperformed last year so hopefully they can get some of their momentum back. Big question is do we have any talent coming in to next year’s freshman class?
You will.
The Visi "recruiting" process was abysmal. They could not have done worse if they tried. It would be crazy if Visi somehow ends up with the strongest 2028 recruiting class (other than Battlefield, of course).
What is Battlefield? VA public?
Yes, Battlefield is a Public School in Prince William County. They play in a terrible district and Region, but have started to play more Fairfax teams. They have been solid for the past several years now. If you read a few tags above, they will have about 7-10 girls that play travel coming in the 2028 class. The question will still be, can they win the big game
No
VHSL is changing the way they do brackets for better balance. So they will have to win multiple big games in the tourney now. And the answer remains unlikely. Some of those 8th graders will eventually transfer to privates like PVI, Potomac or BI based on what I am hearing (just like the last good class of 2025’s who had a top attacker and goalie leave).
You have been misinformed and your source is incorrect

Yes. Not good. Hopefully they can regroup but I think the 2028 class may be lost.
I am not really getting that vibe. I think Visi may sneak out a strong class.
Where do you think they are coming from? They are not coming from the top MD teams unless a few are going from Heros. So you are left with Pride and Stars. Most of the top stars girls are public school girls. So a handful from Pride is what will be making up that class.
Hey people, guess what, your high school isn’t getting you recruited, your club is. It’s not a big deal where girls go as long as it is a good fit for them academically
I agree but having a competitive HS team just adds to the overall HS experience in addition to the benefit of playing with other strong players. Only helps with club - especially in those all important tournaments after Freshman and Sophomore year.
HS experience should not revolve around one thing that God forbid could disappear in a split second with injury. Big picture folks.
Nobody ever said it was about one thing. I made this comment in the context of why you would consider lacrosse at a high school as one of the factors and I do not disagree that recruiting almost exclusively comes through your club. Academics, affordability, location and a bunch of other obvious factors play a part in making an informed decision.

I think the Hero’s girls are going to public school.
I think some will likely go to McDonogh and/or Glenelg based on what I have heard. But I am sure a good portion will go to public.
Hero's to Maryvale is a big pipeline.
Sorry if it was not clear, but most on this forum probably only care about the DMV Hero’s players and where they may be going to high school. Do you have any insights on that?
Well this post is for the 10% that care about MD players
I’d take the under on that 10%.

Hero's to Maryvale is a big pipeline.
Of course, the Hero's Maryvale pipeline is big Brian Reese is the coach at Maryvale he is Cathy Reese's' husband and their daughter plays for Hero's. My guess is had he stayed at Glenelg Country that pipeline would be to Glenelg Country rather than to Maryvale.
Yes. Maryvale will be stacked if some of the ‘28s go there from Hero’s.
Already stacked with top 2027 HG kids, and now that becomes the issue, how many are going to continue the pipeline when PT will be in short supply.
Don't they also have one of the best players in the 2028 class also coming next year?
They do.
That is great.

I agree but having a competitive HS team just adds to the overall HS experience in addition to the benefit of playing with other strong players. Only helps with club - especially in those all important tournaments after Freshman and Sophomore year.
No one will argue that playing on a competitive team is advantageous. However, if you are are already playing for a top club it is not a necessity, when you factor in the cost of private school. If a public school is a good fit with good academics and an average to above average lacrosse team, there isn't the need to pay for private school. They are still practicing 6 days a week and probably playing 100% of the game time, being one of the top players on their HS team. That is also a valuable experience. No guarantees that you will play a lot as a freshman or sophomore at some of the privates. so if you aren't playing a ton, or only playing on JV, that reduces the benefit of being part of such a competitive team.
You make good points assuming you have decent public schools. Depending on where you live, some people do not have the option of public schools because they are so awful.
Awful in what sense? Academically or athletically? Academically then sure do what you think is best but doing it for athletics is not worth it. Go public, play multiple sports and have a high school experience that is well rounded.
There are also a large segment of people who prefer their kids have a religious education and access to better facilities. I think public schools can be great but if you have the means and a private school is a better fit, then go down that road.

Yes. Maryvale will be stacked if some of the ‘28s go there from Hero’s.
Already stacked with top 2027 HG kids, and now that becomes the issue, how many are going to continue the pipeline when PT will be in short supply.

Current Visi parent - I think they will have a good team this year, maybe even very good. They underperformed last year so hopefully they can get some of their momentum back. Big question is do we have any talent coming in to next year’s freshman class?
You will.
The Visi "recruiting" process was abysmal. They could not have done worse if they tried. It would be crazy if Visi somehow ends up with the strongest 2028 recruiting class (other than Battlefield, of course).
Yes. Not good. Hopefully they can regroup but I think the 2028 class may be lost.
I am not really getting that vibe. I think Visi may sneak out a strong class.
Where do you think they are coming from? They are not coming from the top MD teams unless a few are going from Heros. So you are left with Pride and Stars. Most of the top stars girls are public school girls. So a handful from Pride is what will be making up that class.
I think the Hero’s girls are going to public school.
I think some will likely go to McDonogh and/or Glenelg based on what I have heard. But I am sure a good portion will go to public.
Hero's to Maryvale is a big pipeline.
Sorry if it was not clear, but most on this forum probably only care about the DMV Hero’s players and where they may be going to high school. Do you have any insights on that?
Nobody knows.

They do but they really only take freshmen that will play. Similar to the other big schools (SSSAS, GC, Visi) they have more depth and playing time is important so they have swing players to make sure they play and don't just sit the bench all spring.
Putting Visi in the class of other area “big schools” is a stretch. Visi had losses to Potomac and SJC last year. Not ranked in top ten either.
